About the Item
A Fine and Rare Early 18th-Century George I Single Dome Burr Walnut Bureau Bookcase of diminutive proportions, Circa 1720-1730. England.
This exceptional early Georgian bureau bookcase exhibits masterful craftsmanship, dating to the first quarter of the 18th century (c. 1720-1730). The single-domed top and use of richly figured burr walnut veneers showcase both elegance and precision, indicative of early Georgian furniture design.
The upper section features an arched single-door cabinet with the original bevelled mirror plate above a candle slide.
The door opens to reveal adjustable shelves, perfect for displaying books or valuables.
The top is accentuated by finely turned finials, enhancing its classical proportions.
The fall-front bureau opens to reveal a well-fitted interior, with a series of small drawers, pigeonholes, and central compartments for documents and stationery.
Below the writing slope, there are four graduated cockbeaded and feather-banded drawers with original brass handles and escutcheons. An unusual feature is the neatly concealed brushing slide, stowed just below the top drawer.
Materials:
Constructed primarily in burr walnut with a rich, warm patina developed over centuries.
Oak-lined drawers indicate high-quality cabinetmaking.
Condition:
The bureau bookcase has been expertly conserved, maintaining its original character while ensuring structural stability.
The mirror glass shows desirable signs of age, further contributing to its authenticity.
Dimensions: Enquire for dimensions.
Notes:
This Georgian bureau bookcase reflects the transition from Queen Anne to early Georgian design, combining utility and beauty. The richly grained walnut veneer, shaped cornice, and intricate interior organization embody the hallmarks of 18th-century English craftsmanship.
A timeless and sophisticated piece, ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of fine period furniture.
